Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.5720 of 2025(8) dt.25-04-2025 2/2

5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that except statement of victim recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C., no cogent material has come against the petitioner during the course of investigation. It is further submitted that petitioner is also victim of the alleged occurrence.

5. Considering the fact that the petitioner has been named by the victim in his statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C., I am not inclined to reconsider the prayer for bail.

6. However, the learned trial Court is directed to take all endeavour and conclude the trial positively within a period of nine (09) months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If the trial is not concluded within nine months, the petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.

7. With the aforesaid observation, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is once again rejected.
